Athlete Agreement:
I have read the Concussion and Head Injury Information sheet. I have had the opportunity to read more information on concussions on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) websites. I understand what a concussion is and how it may be caused. I also understand the common signs, symptoms, and behaviors. I understand the importance of reporting a suspected concussion to my coaches and my parents/guardian.
I understand that I must be removed from practice/play if a concussion is suspected. I understand that I must be evaluated by an appropriate health care provider and provide to my coach written clearance to participate in the activity from the health care provider before I may return to practice/play.
I understand that after a head injury my brain needs time to heal and that it may not heal properly if I return to practice/play too soon.
I have read the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Information sheet. I understand that I should stop activity/exercise immediately if I have any warning signs of sudden cardiac arrest and report the symptoms to my coaches and my parents/guardians.
